Is the storage controller set to IDE? 9atom doesn't seem to like
VirtualBox SATA as the hard disk/cdrom type. Also disable the Enable
absolute pointing device option if set and you might need the VirtualBox
Extension Pack installed.

Most of the other VirtualBox options don't seem to influence things too
badly (on a quick trial).
